At the grub menu, before the kernel boots. Hit a key to stop the default from booting and I believe if you press "e" you can edit the boot command. Just add "single" to the end and then boot that way. That will boot in recovery mode I think. I hope mysql isn't loading in that mode ;). If that doesn't work you may need to boot with a knopix or ubuntu disk and edit whatever needs editing that way. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
